Red Mespilia globulus – Algae-eating Climbing Sea Urchin for Reef Aquarium
The Red Mespilia globulus is a spectacular variant of the classic climbing sea urchin. With its deep red colors and distinctive patterns, it combines aesthetics and utility in the natural maintenance of your aquarium. Highly sought after for its algae-grazing abilities, this sea urchin is a harmless reef cleaner that does not disturb corals, crustaceans, or fish.
A Decorative and Functional Sea Urchin
The Red Mespilia globulus is distinguished by its short spines and compact body adorned with intense reddish areas. It is a peaceful animal that spends most of its time grazing on algae present on rocks, substrate, and the walls of the aquarium. It actively helps to maintain a healthy biological balance and prevent the overgrowth of undesirable algae.
Its small size and non-destructive behavior make it an ideal choice for reef aquariums, even medium-sized ones. It does not move rocks and respects the integrity of the decor.
Maintenance Conditions
- Minimum recommended volume: 100 liters
- Temperature: 23°C to 27°C
- pH: 8.0 to 8.4
- Decor: live rocks with microalgae
- Dietary supplement: dried algae like nori if necessary
For maximum efficiency, introduce the Red Mespilia globulus into a well-balanced and already functioning aquarium, with the presence of natural algae to consume.
Acclimation Precautions
The acclimation of the Red Mespilia globulus must be done carefully. Proceed with a slow drip to avoid any osmotic stress. During handling, never remove it from the water mouth-side down: this could trap air bubbles that can be fatal. Always keep it mouth-side up if a transfer out of the water is necessary.
Why Choose Red Mespilia globulus?
- Unique and decorative red colors
- Highly effective algae consumer
- Perfectly compatible with corals and invertebrates
- Easy maintenance in reef aquariums
- Peaceful and discrete behavior
The Red Mespilia globulus is more than just a detritivore: it is a decorative and ecological companion for your reef aquarium. Thanks to its bright colors and exemplary behavior, it ensures both the cleanliness of your tank and an original visual touch.
